Oh, hang on! This does now appear to be my fault. I was showing
someone last week how to set up a Coyote directory from the idl-coyote
Subversion repository. I downloaded the files, then showed them how
to make that the coyote project directory. But, I had the *original*
Coyote directory in my IDL path.

My apologies. I take back everything I've ever said bad
about IDL 8.x. It's a wonderful piece of software. And,
I note, that when you specify 10 colors in the new
ColorTable function, you actually get 10 colors in the
color bar. Fixing that problem has improved my IDL outlook
immeasurably! :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Alas, I was all set to send this message. I only had
to confirm that getting back to my original set-up solved
the problem. But, IDL is now hanging in trying to make the
coyote project from the right directory. Sigh...

I can neither kill the Project Wizard (because there is
an "active" project going on, a poor choice of words
under the circumstances), nor exit IDL (because it is
being blocked by the Project Wizard.

I'll probably be in limbo the rest of my life... :-(
